MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE 
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup

In 1 1/2 quart casserole stir together. Microwave at High 4 minutes.

Stir in peanuts. Microwave at High 3-5 minutes until light brown. 1 tsp. vanilla

Add butter and vanilla to syrup, blending well. Microwave at High 1-2 minutes more. Peanuts will be lightly browned and syrup very hot.

Add and gently stir until light and foamy.

Pour mixture onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Let cool 1/2 to 1 hour. When cool, break into small pieces and store in airtight container. Makes about 1 pound.

(If raw peanuts are used, add before microwaving to the sugar-syrup mixture, along with 1/8 tsp. salt.)

Dry inside of wet boots with blower or vacuum cleaner, dries quickly and will not shrink.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
